To cull or not to cull?

The big question I've had to deal with this week is whether to cull two very questionable goats I bought at the auction a few weeks ago. I bought two Nubians, a buck and a doe, and have since bought two more really good looking goats. I am seriously contemplating culling the first two.

For me, the reasons for culling include: bad udder and age.

I did a little research and found an excellent article on Onion Creek Ranch's website about culling in a meat goat herd. Most of the basic principles apply.

Hope this information makes your choice to keep or cull a little easier.
